Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton showed off his arm strength on a four-yard touchdown pass to tight end Ed Dickson in the second quarter of his team’s game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, zipping a pass right over the heads of his offensive lineman.

The pass was actually so close to guard Andrew Norwell and a Falcons defensive tackle, that just a few inches further down or to the left would have resulted in a deflected ball.
